This is one of our favourite ways to make a card, and it certainly the quickest! You will need a black toner photocopy of your design. This can be from a carbon photocopier or toner printer. Inkjet will not work with this method.

You will see when it is ready as the foil will stick. When cooled, peel off the excess foil to reveal your foiled design!
